AI-Powered Inventory & Supply Chain Operations for Manufacturing
Purpose-built vertical AI that works on top of your existing ERP. Automate inventory forecasting, procurement, BOM reconciliation, and back-office operations — without replacing your systems.
The Problem: Legacy Systems Holding Back Growth
Mid-market manufacturers across Europe, the UK, and North America share the same constraint: their operations run on ERP systems designed for a pre-AI era. SAP Business One, Sage, Microsoft Dynamics, or custom-built platforms — they were built for record-keeping, not intelligence. The result:
- Inventory forecasting relies on spreadsheets layered on top of ERP exports. Demand signals are stale by the time they reach planners.
- Procurement is manual and reactive. Purchase orders are raised after stockouts, not before. Supplier lead times aren’t factored into safety stock calculations.
- BOM reconciliation takes days. Engineering BOMs don’t match manufacturing BOMs, and nobody catches the discrepancy until the shop floor does.
- Back-office operations absorb headcount. Order entry, invoice matching, and compliance reporting consume staff who could drive growth.
Adding a horizontal SaaS planning tool on top doesn’t solve the structural problem. It adds another system to maintain, another data silo, and another login for teams already stretched thin. What SMBs need is AI that understands their specific operations and works within their existing infrastructure.
Our Approach: Vertical AI Agents for Manufacturing Operations
Kamna builds purpose-built AI agents that sit on top of your ERP and automate the workflows that consume your team’s time. Not a dashboard. Not a recommendation engine. Autonomous agents that execute multi-step processes across your systems.
Inventory Forecasting
AI-driven demand forecasting that combines your ERP history with external signals — seasonality, supplier lead times, market trends. Replaces spreadsheet-based planning with continuously updated forecasts that account for real-world variability.
Procurement Automation
From purchase requisition to PO generation, supplier selection, and invoice matching. AI agents handle the procurement cycle end-to-end, factoring in lead times, MOQs, contract terms, and cash flow constraints.
BOM Reconciliation
Automated alignment between engineering BOMs (EBOM) and manufacturing BOMs (MBOM). Detect discrepancies, flag missing components, and trace changes through revision history — before they cause shop floor delays.
Back-Office Automation
Order entry, AP/AR processing, compliance reporting, and data reconciliation. AI agents process documents, match records, and handle exceptions — routing only genuine anomalies to your team.
Supply Chain Intelligence
Unified visibility across suppliers, inventory positions, and production schedules. Identify risks before they become problems: supplier delays, demand spikes, capacity constraints, and working capital pressure.
ERP Data Intelligence
Transform your ERP from a record system into a decision system. Natural-language queries over your operational data. Automated reporting. Cross-system insights that previously required a BI team to extract.
Why Vertical AI Beats Horizontal Planning Tools
Horizontal inventory planning SaaS products serve every industry with the same engine. They’re designed to optimize one slice — typically reorder points and safety stock — and rely on clean, structured ERP data to do it.
Manufacturing doesn’t work that way. Your data is messy. Your processes span ERP, email, spreadsheets, CAD systems, and paper. Your constraints are industry-specific: engineering change orders, BOM versioning, regulatory compliance, multi-site production, and supplier qualification requirements that no generic planner addresses.
Vertical AI is purpose-built for these realities:
- Domain-specific models trained on manufacturing data, not generic retail or wholesale patterns
- Multi-system agents that work across ERP, email, PLM, and spreadsheets — not just one database
- Process automation that handles complete workflows, not just recommendations you still have to execute manually
- Human-in-the-loop governance for high-stakes decisions, with full audit trails
How It Works: From Pilot to Production in 90 Days
Discovery Sprint (Weeks 1–3)
We map your current operations: ERP setup, data quality, manual workflows, and pain points. We identify the highest-ROI automation targets and design the agent architecture. Deliverable: a scoped roadmap with clear success metrics and expected time-to-value.
Pilot Build (Weeks 4–8)
We build and deploy the first AI agent against a real workflow — typically inventory forecasting or procurement automation. The agent runs in parallel with your existing process, so you can validate accuracy and build confidence before switching over.
Production & Expansion (Weeks 9–12+)
Harden the pilot into production: monitoring, alerting, exception handling, and team training. Then expand: add more workflows, more agents, more coverage. Each new agent builds on the data foundation from the last one.
Industries We Serve
Our AI agents are built for manufacturing and adjacent industries where operational complexity meets legacy infrastructure:
- Discrete manufacturing: Automotive parts, machinery, electronics, metal fabrication
- Process manufacturing: Food & beverage, chemicals, pharmaceuticals
- Industrial distribution: Wholesale, MRO, building materials
- Industrial automation & controls: PLC, instrumentation, control panels
- Contract manufacturing: Job shops, CNC, sheet metal, injection molding
We work with manufacturers across Europe (Greece, UK, Germany, Netherlands), North America (US, Canada), and expanding globally.
Who This Is For
- Manufacturing SMBs (€5M–€100M revenue) constrained by legacy ERP systems
- Operations leaders spending too much time on manual procurement, inventory planning, or data reconciliation
- Companies that have tried horizontal planning tools and found they don’t address the full operational picture
- Manufacturers preparing for AI transformation but unsure where to start or how to de-risk

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to replace my ERP?
No. Our AI agents work on top of your existing ERP — SAP Business One, Microsoft Dynamics, Sage, NetSuite, or any system with API or data export capabilities. We enhance your ERP, not replace it.
How does this differ from inventory planning software like demand planning SaaS tools?
Traditional planning tools optimize one function (typically reorder points or safety stock) using your ERP data. Our vertical AI agents automate complete workflows across multiple systems — procurement, BOM reconciliation, back-office operations, and more. They execute actions, not just provide recommendations.
What kind of ROI can we expect?
Typical outcomes include 30–50% reduction in procurement processing time, 20–40% improvement in forecast accuracy, and significant reduction in BOM-related production delays. Most clients see 3–6× ROI within the first year, with payback in the first quarter.
Is our data secure?
Yes. We deploy within your infrastructure or on dedicated cloud tenancy. Data never co-mingles with other clients. We support on-premises, private cloud, and hybrid deployments based on your security requirements.
How long does implementation take?
Discovery to first production agent: 8–12 weeks. Full operational coverage expands over 3–6 months as we add agents for additional workflows. Each agent builds on shared infrastructure, so deployment accelerates over time.
Do you work with companies in Europe?
Yes. We have active engagements across Europe including Greece, the UK, Germany, and the Netherlands. We also serve manufacturers in the US and Canada. Our team works in your timezone and can be on-site for discovery and critical deployment phases.
What ERP systems do you integrate with?
We integrate with SAP Business One, Microsoft Dynamics 365/NAV/AX, Sage (X3, 200, Intacct), Oracle NetSuite, Acumatica, SYSPRO, Epicor, and custom ERP systems. If your ERP has an API or supports data exports, we can work with it.
